    Seeking an English-Speaking Therapist

    I found Susana Olañeta through this website. If you search you'll find a thread she posted on. Her email is [email protected]. I saw/see her for couples and individual therapy and she helped me a lot. Her English is very good and I found her approach very practical and based on addressing...

    HELP! Cat needs a new home

    I have to admit that I jumped to pass judgment on someone giving up their pet, but I can't thank you enough for alerting me to this, as I'll be needing to bring my two cats home on Continental in July. We are a family of three so perhaps we'll be able to go in the cabin if the cargo thing is too...

    HELP! Cat needs a new home

    Called continental cargo in US. They gave me the local number here. 4480 0958. Pressed the button to speak to someone in English. Guy answers in Spanish. I ask in Spanish to speak to someone in English. Hangs up on me. Calling back, no answer, voicemail not accepted. Please, if anyone learns...

    HELP! Cat needs a new home

    Wow. I was really saddened by the original post and followed the thread with amazement and gratitude to see MORE than one person step forward to help out. Now at the end of the thread I am about to have a heart attack, as I brought my two then 18-year old kitties to Buenos Aires with me last...

    Chipotles en adobo? Cassia cinnamon?

    Hi, I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but I was in Gato Negro (Corrientes and Rodriguez Pena) and they had giant sticks of cinnamon, branches practically, called 'canela de ceilan', I don't know if that's what you are looking for but that seems to be a great place to get spices in...

    Vitamin Water

    I went to my first McDonalds here yesterday and they had Vitamin water. Didn't check the price. Epika, another beverage by coca-cola that's sold here and I think produced locally, is pretty good, and has the same kind of sugar water plus whatever sounds healthy stuff added to it and at least a...

    New SUBE rule?

    Probably going to ruin it by posting, but the OCA on Jose Hernandez and Cabildo had maybe twenty people waiting when I got there and they got to me in less than 20 minutes. Just a few blocks down at the Correo were something around two and a half billion people in a line that went around the...

    Insane Landlords

    I think it's worth writing a calm reply, explaining exactly what you plan to fix and your timeline for doing it, and offer to send pics when the work is done, if this is damage you are responsible for. Say you are sorry they have been unnecessarily alarmed and that your partner's remark about...

    Depilacion definitiva

    Hello, has anyone had a good experience with laser hair removal here? I had it done in the states some seven years back, was thrilled with the results, then tried a place here in BsAs and it was nowhere near as effective and obviously a different technology. I searched some of the threads on...

    Depilacion definitiva

    I searched for info and the threads were pretty old, so I thought it was worth finding out if anyone has had good luck with a particular place. I had 5 sessions something like seven years ago in the US and while it hurt like getting snapped with a rubber band, it was very effective. I bought a...

    Parque de la costa?

    Hello expats, I' m thinking of taking my son to Parque de la Costa for his birthday. Any advice, such as whether we should go by car or train, things to avoid, to bring? I've never been and my son is turning five. We are planning to go with another family, so we'd be four adults and two kids...
